Spawn,
according to the comments of your author link these dont really exist yet and its probably going to be years before they do. Still cool though.

Hey Guys!
Here is a 2 TB card, though it is not a true “stick.” With the right adapter/ card thing, you could use it as one, though. Couldn’t find any actual sticks that were 2 Tb, though I did find a 1 TB. (see my last report for the latter).

Sammich,
Im sorry to hear that. But even “legitimate” capacities like 128GB or 256GB are being hijacked by fraudsters (see my post on these ). Dont be seduced by a cheap price.

I purchased a 512 GB Kingston USB drive from a merchant in China. Big mistake! It formats ok but wont write any files. Itll either freeze or give me an error message. Totally unusable junk! So I learned the hard way that there is no 512 GB out there yet.

Yes folks, always be careful regarding fakes on ebay. You can read more about such occurences in my 128GB flash drive post.

Hi Andy,
see my reply to Fraudbuster. I know there are fake ones out there claiming 512GB but the one I’m mentioning in my post supposedly isn’t commercial (yet).

USB 2.0 Brand New 512GB Flash Memory Drive Pendrive — Are you sure this isn’t fake??

Hi fraudbuster, I wasn't referring to Kingston. I don't know which company or institution may be in possession of a 512GB flash drive, it's just a rumor I came across. I never heard of the DataTraveler 400, but there is the genuine Kingston DataTraveler 300 which indeed holds 256GB. You can be sure I only show genuine brand models on my site.

There is no such thing as a Kingston 512GB flash drive and the DataTraveler 400 is a discontinued drive that was never made in 256GB capacity. These are fakes that will trash users’ files.

True, but both drives have already seen a decrease in price since their arrival.
